CONTINUITY consists of an office, commercial kitchen, cafe, multifunctional space and exhibition spaces. The blend of private and public spaces celebrates cultural exchange and the continuous sharing of Aboriginal knowledge.

Continuity

Over the last two centuries, Aboriginal ceremonial practices and iconography have been transformed into new visual mediums, embedding ephemeral rituals into accessible and permanent histories. While this shift has challenged assimilation policies, it has also commodified sacred traditions rooted in a system of selective knowledge sharing. Country serves as the master archive of this knowledge, with Elders as its custodians, reminding us of the need for deep listening and co-envisioning respectful frameworks. This project explores how architecture can honour these revelatory protocols of knowledge sharing, creating spaces that safeguard and perpetuate cultural continuity.
